Question

The equation you entered to model this strain is:
y=2^x
Using this model or the table, or the graph, determine how many people would be infected in 11 minutes.
minutes: 01,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
number of zombies: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024

The model you've provided is \( y = 2^x \), which describes the number of zombies (or infected individuals) at any given minute \( x \). From your table, we can see the exponential growth of the number of zombies as time progresses.

To find out how many people would be infected in 11 minutes, we can substitute \( x = 11 \) into the equation:

\[
y = 2^{11}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
y = 2^{11} = 2048
\]

Therefore, in 11 minutes, there would be 2048 zombies (or infected individuals).
